Last time on Cursed Love
"I'm admiring the roses while talking to my future wife, Krystal," Brooklyn replied. Kai's eyes widened in surprise and shock.
"That's right. Krystal is my future wife and if I see you anywhere near her I'll kill you," Brooklyn smiled evilly. As soon as Brooklyn finished the sentence, Krystal pounced on him, pinning him to the ground while baring her teeth growling and digging her claws into him making him bleed. Kai turned around and walked away. Krystal sensed his presence was gone, got off Brooklyn and went to find Kai. Kai however never wanted to be found. Krystal went up to her room. The other Bladebreakers were around the castle somewhere. She curled up and went to sleep.
Now
"Krystal, Krystal," came a soft and soothing voice. Krystal opened her eyes to find a 19 year old boy sitting next to her. The boy had white hair that was spiked like Ray's with it tied into a ponytail (AN: Like Hiro's) and crimson eyes. Krystal launched herself at the boy. She licked his cheek. She hadn't seen him since she ran away from home. She was happy to be reunited with her cousin. The boy laughed as Krystal snuggled into his chest. There she was relaxed and she felt at peace knowing her cousin was still alive. They both drifted off to sleep.
Just before night fell, Krystal and her cousin woke up. She wanted to see his face again before they transformed. Yep you just read correctly: they.
As the last of the sun's rays vanished Krystal turned back into her human self while her cousin turned into a white dragon with crimson eyes.
"Celestin, my dear cousin. What have I done to you?" Crystal whispered. The dragon looked down at Crystal. He lowered his head and nuzzled into her neck.
"I can still remember when we got the curse," she said.
Flashback
A 12 year old Crystal, a 15 year old Celestin and a 13 year old Lavarsha walked down a corridor to the throne room. They were laughing and having fun. They walked in and abruptly stopped as soon as they saw the kind.
"Hello father," said Crystal.
"Don't hello me," the king said, icily. Crystal flinched at the tone of his voice, "You have betrayed me. So I will deliver you punishment personally."
"How have I betrayed you?" Crystal asked.
"By falling in love with someone other then Brooklyn," he said ignoring Celestin and Lavarsha, "it's a pity that the one you loved is dead."
Crystal gasped, "De…dead. No he can't be." Tears were forming in the corner of her eyes. The king smirked as Crystal fell to her knees and cried. A pair of black eyes with red flecks was watching from a door that was only an inch open.
The king began to chant an old spell that created a curse. The curse was sent towards Crystal. Crystal, who was still crying, lifted her head. She was powerless to move. Celestin, seeing his beloved cousin in danger, stepped in front of her and took the curse for her. Crystal watched as he fell to the ground.
"Celestin," Crystal sobbed as she crawled to his fallen body.
"I'm fine. Run get out of here," he said before he fell unconscious. Crystal heard a loud thump against the wall. She looked up to find Lavarsha sliding down it. Lavarsha was still conscious but she didn't move.
"It's just you an me Crystal," she the king as he towered over her. He repeated the spell and it encased Crystal. Lavarsha, the king and the pair of black eyes watched as Crystal's body stretched and become longer. They watched her transform into a lioness for the first time. Crystal pretended to black out and the king walked away. The person with the black eyes emerged and walked up to Crystal.
"Get out of here. Go to Lavarsha's mansion. I'll look after Celestin," said a13 year old Pyrocha. Varsha got up and walked over.
"Come on we have to go," Varsha said to Krystal. She and Krystal ran out of the palace, never looking back. They ran to Lavarsha's mansion where Crystal stayed for a few months before she left and travelled, thus ending up at the circus in Japan.
End Flashback
Just then Ray walked in closely followed by Tala.
"What the hell," said a shocked Ray.
"Hey Ray, Tala," said Crystal, "This is my cousin Celestin."
"Celestin. Isn't that the name of your older cousin?" asked Tala.
"Yes," replied Crystal as she patted Celestin on the head. A knock at the door was heard and Crystal, Ray and Tala turned to see Pyrocha.
"Your father wishes to see you in the throne room," he said.
"Tell him I'll talk to him later," said Crystal.
"But he wishes to see you now," said Pyrocha as he turned and walked away. Crystal excused herself and went to see what her god-forsaken father wanted.
"Crystal, my dear daughter," said the king as he spotted Crystal enter the throne room.
"Don't 'dear daughter' me," Crystal snapped, "What the fuck do you want?"
"I'm glad you asked. You are to spend the night with Brooklyn, get to know him a bit better. After all he is your future husband," said the king as he stood up.
"No," Crystal said defiantly.
"You will obey me, otherwise one of your friends will die," bellowed the king.
"You're bluffing," Crystal retorted. The king shook his head and snapped his fingers. 2 guards dragged an unconscious Tyson out and held a knife to his throat.
"You're still bluffing," Crystal said calmly. The king nodded and the guard holding the knife drew back his hand and…
